These babies come in four sizes: (14"x14", 16"x16", 18"x18", 24"x24") each available with Open or Closed seams.
For silk painting, order them with open side seams for easy stretching and painting. For tie-dye order them all sewn up. In either case, the zipper is already sewn in place.
Made in China with 100% 10mm Habotai silk and sewn with silk thread. They take a standard pillow insert you can buy at fabric stores.
This is a Great Value!
Your imagination and the number of sofas in your own and your friends houses are the only limits.

LOVE the pre-made pillows! Sewing silk just drives me NUTS. I put paper between the layers and used the French Serti technique as successfully as if they were the open pieces! A little carefully measured and cut butcher paper and I was in business!

Great pillow covers love that they are pre-sewn and have a zipper closing--very convenient! Remember that these cannot be stretched on a frame so I have found it best to place on table covered with newsprint and paint the wax on ensuring that it penetrates through both sides so that the dye won't bleed. Another option if you want to make the design different on each side or only on one side put newsprint inside the cover so that the wax doesn't get on both sides of the cover. Takes fiber reactive dye beautifully!

They dye beautifully although I was surprised that the zippers took no dye at all. This is not really a problem since the zippers are covered and are on the back side of the pillow. I would have preferred a heavier weight silk for pillow covers but have yet to use these pillows so I cannot say if the lighter weight will be a liability.

These silk pillowcases are a hit with my students. I wish you had a size to fit travel pillows as I always have to sew a seam to make them rectangular.

These pillow covers are very nice. I like that they have a sewn-in zipper and serged edges. It makes it much easier for me to sew the open seams up. They also take the French silk dyes beautifully.

please please could dharma supply these open covers in other silks. A heavyweight satin would be great. I used to be able to buy them from my UK supplier but they only do Hab 10 (same as you guys) and I find them a little too thin and also the satin finish is more popular with my lot. Hab 10 cushion don't seem as popular - I've tried!

These are truly wonderful. I'm hoping that Dharma will offer them in other silk fabrics as well.

These pillow covers are really nice and I like having the zipper alreay sewn in. The serged edges are nice too. I don't like to sew a lot so these save me a lot of time. They take the Dupont and Pebeo dyes really well too. I sold several of these pillow covers with a pillow insert stuffed in them. I wish that Dharma could make these in silk charmeuse too with the open seams and the zipper sewn in.
